Trump accusers 'should be heard': Haley

Nikki Haley, the US ambassador to the United Nations, says the women who have accused US President Donald Trump of sexual harassment "should be heard".

Haley told CBS programme "Face the Nation" on Sunday that she's incredibly proud of the wave of women to come forward with allegations against US politicians and entertainment industry figures in recent weeks.

"I think it will start to bring a conscience to the situation, not just in politics ... and I think the time has come," Haley said.

He called it ironic that he is resigning while Trump has bragged about being able to grope women and Senate candidate Roy Moore has the support of the Republican Party despite accusations of molesting teenage girls.
